As part of the Design Week Portland DesignSpeaks series, Jeff Kovel of Skylab Architecture reveals the concept of The Hidden Narrative, and maybe a Crouching Tiger or two if we're lucky.

Jeff Kovel pushes boundaries to create unique, sustainable design and architectural experiences. In 1999, Kovel founded Skylab Architecture, a firm driven by a strong artistic impulse and a design philosophy that invites inspiration, high concept and orchestration into the unfolding process.

Today, Kovel’s work seeks to illuminate the juxtapositions found throughout history and future aspirations, varying the mix of color, materials and volume to invite others to bring their own perspective into the often ambiguous narrative of a space.

DesignSpeaks exists to encourage people to talk about design, to establish an interface within the context of real life and support the most compelling regional voices in design.
